@Arthur:

The Pacific fleet is near full strength.  I will have to decide if I need another round of spending there before switching over to the Atlantic.  You will start having some tough decisions as Germany next round.  It will be quite important to get your air force into the desired positions for G4 actions.

Yups. As I stated before, if I ever want to approach Moscow or reach the oil fields, I need a LOT of air east, to make up for the lack of ground forces. As for Japan… USA JF pressure is felt. Definately. Last Japanese turn I had to decide to either give up SZ 6 as a set up spot for Japanese naval forces (unacceptable) by focusing the IJN on India, or to attend to that American threat and let India off the hook. Such is (K)JF from the Japanese perspective. Taking India while loosing the naval war (fleet set up spot + islands) that early already is not wanted.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

It is painful to see Japan earning so much money.  At least the forces are now in position to counterstrike.  Hopefully I will have sufficient time to build up my Atlantic navy before Germany crushes Russia.

[ItIsILeClerc]

I hope you can find a way for Russia ;-). I think Germany cannot enter Bryansk without also moving all their bombers (or most of them) there too. At least for a while, but the longer this lasts, the longer the allies have.

Japan is having a hard time to prevent isolation. Much depends indeed on how fast the USA can bring any changes about. Preferrably before Moscow falls. But definately before Germany can start thinking about Cairo.

couple of comments: I guess the bombers sort of protect Gibraltar for the time beeing, but maybe it is worthwile sending out a sucide mission for US or UK to remove the italian NO? Italy now keeps their NO with no effort? I am also wondering why Germany gives Russia the NO. Why take out the destroyer? Wouldnt it be better to put the sub in sz 125?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Gibraltar is certainly on my hit list this turn for the Allies.  I need to check out my options when I’m back from work.  I will then be able to move my fleet over there in another 3-4 rounds if I can hold it.

[ItIsILeClerc]

You may be right, oysteilo. I’m only human, ofc., so I make mistakes like every1 else ;-).

I’m not sure how Gibraltar will play out. I was not in the mood to do an exact calculation of the situation, but both sides still have options there. For a while; I have ofc given up on Gibraltar in the long run already. Too much FTR+TAC are needed to protect the Wehrmacht from Russian counterattacks. IF Germany had produced a lot of land units instead of bombers, this would have been different, but this is a DS playtest, so DS is what Germany plays… But anyway, this should allow Germany to keep a maximum of bombers active in West, so counterattacks can be made wherever possible with spare ones, but the main German priority is to push the Russians back into Moscow (and keep them there). You think it’s possible to stack both Gibraltar and protect + facilitate the German advance into Russia? If so, please enlighten me!

As for SZ125, you may be right. SZ125 is a strange sort of calculation. Have the sub there and keep attacking the DD’s UK builds with bombers only, and Germany may end up loosing more power (bombers) than it prevented Russia from gaining… worsening power balance for Germany. But of course, I am too prudent. It’s not uncommon for Germany to end up with 1-2 subs after round 1 and if you build 1 more, 1 always should go into #125. But Germany lost all their subs in round 1 and like I said: I am too prudent somtimes ;-).

Please edit 2 Italian FTR from Southern Italy back into Romania.

I know Belarus is the usual way to go, but with DS I’m not so sure. Russia can project a lot of power into Bryansk and if Germany wants to reach the Russian Oil Fields, moving into Bryansk becomes mandatory after Belarus. This requires Germany to fly most (if not all) of its bombers there as well and I’m not sure this is such a good move.

Therefore I’m thinking to move Western Ukraine->Ukraine instead of Belarus->Bryansk.
This should remove the requirement to move (almost) all bombers east, leaving no power projection into the west and the med around Gibraltar.

If any1 feels my thinking is not right about this, please enlighten me and I could redo the turn for Italy.
